I'm making a new title block which im setting up as a dynamic block etc.

My current problem:

1. I want it to have visibility option to change size A0,A1,A2,A3 - This is fine i can manage this!

2. I also have plot stamps which are construction issue, tender issue, preliminary etc I would like these to be like a visibility option where you can switch between them.

You cant have 2 visibility options, i found this

But in 2011 struggle to get it to work.

Any ideas??

Step 2. Outline the shape of the safe deck, which will be the base of your design. At this stage, your top consideration should be practicality. For example, if the ground were noticeably uneven, consider designing a multi-level deck.

Step 3. Draw the dividing lines on the deck to represent the placement of the wood. And don't forget to add dimensions to your design. For those who also use ZWCAD, you can use the Super Hatch function to texturize the deck with realistic wood images, to make it easier to read.

Step 4. Create the layout of the supporting pillars. You should allow for the moving load on the deck, which means the distance between two pillars is usually about 3 to 4 meters. In ZWCAD, you can quickly place the pillars with the Array function - first, select the pillar as the basic object, then set the distances on the X and Y axes.

Step 5. Design the elevation, which is mainly to show the height differences of the deck and its railings. Note that the deck should be lower than the house floor to prevent water from flowing back into the house during rainy days. As for the railings, the height is suggested to be 1 meter.

Step 6. Insert your title block in the layout space to display the necessary information, such as materials and size. Then, decide the paper size for printing out the layout. In this case, I think A3 is just fine.

With the printed layout, now you can contact your local contractors and discuss it with them. That's the whole process of designing a safe deck!

I'd really like to know what you think of it. Thanks...

 I don't have any professional Experience with programming but i have tried to made this .lisp with chatGPT but it's not working to export files which property in codes needs improvements please

...but instead you get this:

This is a common issue in AutoCAD, you may even call it a bug; but you can correct it by resetting the following to their default values:

• z-value of the text to 0,
  
• text oblique angle to 0,
  
• text width factor to 1.

But then there are cases where the above solution may not work... so your best guess is to copy and paste everything to a new drawing.

The problem basically arises when you try to 3D-orbit (and/or Shademode) your drawing. You may not be aware of this but when you orbit the drawing you mess-up its font smoothing. Even switching back to the default "Top" view (with the 2D-Shademode) doesn't get rid of the ugly wrecked texts.

However, there is a way to avoid this problem beforehand:

When you begin a new drawing, always save a view (as shown, without the layer snapshot). In-case you later accidentally or deliberately orbit the drawing, this way, you can always revert back to this view and retain the smoothness of your font.

• Lets begin with a new drawing and save the current view:

• Assuming this is a part of our drawing:

• Lets orbit it, and see what happens:

• The text is already messed up:

• Use the Plan command to switch back to the Top View. Note, it doesn't help:

• Use the 3D Navigation Bar to revert back to the earlier saved view:

• Tada!!!!

A small effort put in the beginning always helps you in the long run...

General Usage Instructions

You can download the supported table styles from here https://www.mediafire.com/file/4u2zun3l12smtjc/Table_English.dwg/file

If your table includes Lines and Texts or Unknown attribute blocks:
1. Run the BURST command to explode all attribute blocks

2. Run the B2E command.

- Select all exploded objects.

- Specify steel layer (if any).

- Enter to finish command.

"OK, what do I have to do?"

Well, I'm putting a new section on the homepage called "Tip of the Day" (original eh?). Each day, a new AutoCAD tip will be published and the author will be credited. So, all you have to do is reply to this thread with your favourite AutoCAD tip or trick and I'll add it to the database.

"OK, what information do you need?"

Your tip needs a title, a paragraph or so describing what it is and how it works and attach any images that need to be included. You should also include the name you'd like to see your tip credited to if it's anything other than your forum name.

That's it.

You may enter as many tips as you like but each one must be in a new post.

http://u-cad.eu/apps/viewportmaster/

Step 1. Start the Tool Palette through [Tools] and click [Tool Palette Window] or use the shortcut command [Ctrl+3] on the menu bar.

Step 2. Select the required component block on the current drawing, then hold down the left mouse button, drag it to the tool palette and release it. After that, the block will be added to the Tool Palette.

Tip 2 - Use ZWCAD Smart Plot to output multiple electronic diagrams all at once

Step 1. Open the drawing to be printed, click [File] in the toolbar, and then click [Smart Batch Plot].

Step 2. Select the printing device and choose a [Frame Style] in the pop-up dialog box.

Step 3. Click [Select batch drawings], and select the drawings to be printed.

Step 4. Click [Highlight], and finally click [Plot].

Any one have formula or tips , tricks to find the horizontal scale and vertical scale from a print out of road plan and profile.

Paper size : A2

drawing : Road plan and profile.

What is the scale horizontal and vertical ?

thanks

Hello I'm creating tutorial videos for beginners on AutoCAD. I want to show you my channel and tell me what do you think about it. Thank you for your time

Do you have any suggestions for the next videos?

AutoCAD for Beginners : Training Exercises #3

In this video, I 'll show you:

• How to use Older Array command - ARRAYCLASSIC in new AutoCAD.
  
• How to use ARRAY command
  
• Special, a mini lisp AR command will help you more.
  

(defun C:PLF ()
(princ "\nSpecify start point: ")
(command "._pline")
(while (= (getvar "cmdactive") 1)
(command pause)
(princ "\nNext point: ")
)
(command
"._fillet" "R" "12.0"
"._fillet" "P" (entlast))
(princ)
)

when executing it the polyline has a global whidth of 2.6956 and the radius automatically. There will be some way to be able to have the global whidth in 0 and request radio in each vertex. thank you very much for your attention.

I am UK based and employed in the engineering education industry, and have begun to make videos aimed at those who are new to the engineering industry.

My area of of expertise is welding, fabrication and CAD.

I use up to date Autodesk packages and have found my videos are a valuable resource for my new learners. I am happy to post tutorials on request so please feel free to leave constructive comments and video tutorial requests when you visit

I shall post a link here to get started Watch "Part 1 -Initial set up- Introduction to Autocad 2017" on YouTube
